Native Instruments' Scratch A6 Combines Vinyl with Traktor

The core of the Traktor Scratch vinyl emulation system is the Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Audio 6 -- a professional-grade audio interface which allows you to connect your favorite turntables or CDJs directly to your computer via USB and the A6 hardware box. Timecoded vinyls and CDs are provided, so you can play back any song on your computer, and manipulate and scratch as if it were playing from vinyl or CD.

Spin Your MP3s on Vinyl

Just connect your Mac or PC laptop to the A6 hardware, connect your turntables or CDJs, load the timecoded media, and you're ready to spin your digital music collection. Sure beats carrying around physical media, doesn't it? Tracking and scratch simulation are processed in realtime by the provided Traktor Scratch Pro 2 software. Spinning on timecoded 120-gram Traktor Scratch MK2 vinyl, Traktor Scratch A6 allows you to play MP3s from our computer as if they were on vinyl (or CD).

Add Traktor to Your Vinyl Setup

As if adding scratch simulation to your MP3 collection wasn't enough, Traktor Scratch A6 also adds Native Instruments' powerful Traktor software to your DJ setup. With digital effects, Remix Decks, cues, SoftSync, auto beat mapping functions, and more, it's easy to understand why this upgrade would make any DJ's fingers twitch. What's more, with Traktor you get the power to expand your setup with any of the many tools in the Traktor product family.

In the old days, DJs had to choose between the touch and feel of their vinyl collection and the raw power of their laptop and digital music collection. Now you can have it both ways, thanks to Native Instruments and the Traktor Scratch Audio 6 USB DJ Audio Interface.
